There has been some debate about the death of the long tail. I think it still has it place in the way that the internet works and how searches and searchers use the net.

I pinged Chris on Twitter about it, but either he doesn't like me, didn't care or was busy: <a href="http://marketiq.biz360.com/2009/07/does-%E2%80%9Cfree%E2%80%9D-work-an-analysis-of-the-starbucks-free-pastry-campaign/" rel="nofollow">http://marketiq.biz360.com/2009/07/does-%E2%80%9Cfree%E2%80%9D-work-an-analysis-of-the-starbucks-free-pastry-campaign/</a> I actually did a study using the Community Insights platform on Starbucks “Free Pastry Campaign” to actually QUANTIFY how much buzz the campaign gave Starbucks.
